Flexible Update for master data

hello experts,
in my source database I have the two tables CUSTOMER and ADDRESS.
Now I want to join them into one InfoObject called CUSTOMER using flexible Update.
How can I load data from the flexible InfoSource that joins CUSTOMER and ADDRESS tables into the InfoObject CUSTOMER which has Attributes like Firstname, secondname, Postalcode, city, region, country etc.
Thanx
Axel

Hi Axel
First you will have to create a view with join on both these tables using suitable primary key relationship. Then you create a datasource based on this view and then in BW you will have to assign Infosource to this datasource.
Please refer to generic data source related information on SDN and proceed ahead.
By the way if you are planning to extract this data from R/3 system then why don't you use SAP delivered datasource 0CUSTOMER_ATTRIBUTE. I am not sure from which system you are extracting this data.

Effect of 'No update' for master data texts

Hello all,
I am using flexible update - update rules - for master data text. I want to confirm effect of 'No update' in following scenario
In the fisrt set of update rules -from first source system -I have mapped both short text and long text
Key | short text| long text
......| overwrite| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX| some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text | long text
......|overwrite| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX |
My loading sequence is first source system followed by second source system
what should be my ultimate long text and why?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards
Sanjyot

Hi surekha,
your long text will not get changed.
Take the example you mentioned
Key | short text.....| long text
........| overwrite......| overwrite
K1 | some SHTX.. | some LGTX
In the second set of update rules, I have selected 'No update' for Long text
Key | short text... | long text
........|overwrite......| NO UPDATE
K1 | some SHTX. |
In the second set of update rules, you mentioned "No UPdate", So, when a record with the same key is found n Masterdata, it is not going to make any changes to the field Long text.
Where as short text will get overwritten.
Take some data for ex with the above mentioned type
data from source 1 : 2000 Maggi Noodles
data from source 2 : 2000 Feasters
when the data from first source system arrives, data will be 2000 maggi noodles
when the data from second source suystem arrives, as there exist this records with same key(2000), it checks for the other fiels
short text will be over written with the value in second system (according to rules its in overwrite mode)
Long text will not be updated as the rule says no update.
hope this helps,
Cheers,
Srinath.

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps

How to regularly update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy for BW DEV?- Urgent

Hi Experts,
Can anyone help me to understand how to update the Master data/Text/ Hierarchy regularly for BW DEV.
Since all the new query developments are taking place in DEV, users are not finding the latest Masterdata/ Texts /Hierarchy in the DEV system.
I have searched in SDN and got a document "HOW TO DOWNLOAD A HIERARCHY TO A FLAT FILE". However, is there any other way to upload the master data automatically on periodical basis.
Please help urgently.
Advance Thanks,
BW USA

If you want to extract master data from PRD in order to load in DEV, i suggest to do this (its a tricky thing):
For example, you want to download 0EMPLOYEE
1-In PRD, transaction RSD1
2-Enter 0EMPLOYEE
3-Copy the Master table for 0EMPLOYEE (/BI0/MEMPLOYEE)
4-transaction SE16
5-Enter the table name /BI0/MEMPLOYEE
6-in the selection screen, go to "Options" Menu and select "User parameters", and now select "Standard List SE16"
7-Execute
8-Now its show's up the 0employee data, go to "System" menu - List - Save - Local File
9-After you have the flat file, only rest create Infopackae in DEV Env. and load it from the flat file.

About delta loading for master data attribute

Hi all,
We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
Thanks a lot

Hi...
1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
3) then Delta.......
2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
2) Repeat the load.....
After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
1) delete the init flag.......
2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
3) then Delta.......

Data load error during updation of master data

Dear all,
While updating the master data from the PSA , the following error is appearing and the load fails.
"The time interval ['20050313'/'20050313'] & (from/to) for the data
records 1 & and 2 & overlaps in characteristic 0EQUIPMENT &."
What could be the reason for this error and how to correct the same.
I am able to understand that the valid from and the valid to date are same. in R/3 whenever a change record is created for the equipment the valid from and the valid to date will be the same as shown below.
Creation of record (for example today) valid from :- 02.06.2008 and valid to 31.12.9999.
Change of record (for example tommorrow) Valid from :- 03.06.2008 and valid to 31.12.9999
In the above case the valid to date of the creation data will automatically change from 31.12.9999 to 03.06.2008.
How could this be solved.
Regards,
M.M

Hi Magesh,
Please look at /BIC/*Equipment table in SE16.
Find the record with a key = ********* and notice what values have Date_from and Date_to fields. The interval they determine, overlap with ur date_to and date_from.
You need to supply correct date_to & date_from values.
thanks
Assign points if this helps
Note: this is a common scenario in time dependendent master data.....it happens because you have two records for the same values of master data and also they have overlapping time interval.....you cannot have two values of master data at the same time.

Problem updating infoobject master data from a dso.

Hi all,
i'm updating the master data of an infoobject from another ods, the two table have the same key.
When i update the infoobject with full repair i get errors about duplicate records and the data load stops, when i delete the request and launch the infopackage again all goes well but it seems it doesn't insert any new record in the master data, what could be the problem?
If you need more info ask me.
Thanks a lot.
Stefano

Hi Sadeesh,
i checked the master data table and it seems it has been updated, i check some order number with recordmode N added today in the dso and the entries were in the infoobject, though i don't know why in the request tab it shows 0 added records.
To be completely sure tomorrow i will check again the number of entries in the 'p' table of the infoobject.
Anyway this is the exact error message i get:
7 duplicate record found. 6478 recordings usedin table /BIC/XZDOCDSO
7 duplicate record found. 6478 recordings usedin table /BIC/PZDOCDSO
After that i run the change run for the IO and when i launch again tha data load it goes well.

BAPI/function module to create/update vendor master data

Hi
We are on ECC 50 and have a need to update vendor master data through a programatic interface ( non-dialog ) with ABAP. What is a good function module that can be used to create/update vendor master data - I looked at BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE and did not find any input interfaces that can be passed to this BAPI.
Previous experiences with the right BAPI for this purpose that can be shared is appreciated. <REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Edited by: Alvaro Tejada Galindo on Feb 26, 2008 5:58 PM

Hi Kiran,
If you want to load the vendor data into sap its better to go with LSMW batch input program.
object 0040
method 0001
program name RFBIKR00
Program type B
this would be a good choice. Recently i did the same.

Hi Ankit,
Yoy have to load data to the cube.For that you need update rules.
Steps to load data to the cube
1.Replicate the datasource.
2.Assign Infosource
3.Create transfer rules
4.Maintain the update rules to the cube.
5.Right click on the datasource and schedule an infopackage for it.

Item descriptions update on Master Data

Hi there,
Item descriptions update on master data does not get read into existing sales orders and subsequently when delivery dockets and invoice are generated, they are all not updated. Could the SAP programmer analysts please fix this bug? thanks.
Similarly if item's GL account is set by item group and the item group is changed after an item is processed on sales order, the change in GL posting is not reflected when invoice is subsequently processed. Please also fix this bug, thanks.

Hi Amy,
for both issue nothing to do from SAP MDM side, You need to take help of SAP Technical Consultant(Programmer) which analyst the problem and fix it for e.g. SAP Notes updation for program or assign/change SAP standard program for message type etc.
Thanks,
Jignesh Patel

Duplicate reocrds for Master data

Hi Friends,
I have a request which contains duplicate records for master data. When i try to load data, after loading to PSA, BW shows an error saying that there are duplicate records.
My requirement is still i need to load the data overwriting the previous duplicate record.
How to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Subsequently i need to load the data to target as well. If i select the option "Only PSA" and "Ignore double data records" the option for "Update subsequently in data targets" is disabled.
Thanks,

Sales order updation if master data is incomplition

is there any solution for sales order updation if master dat is incomolish.
Ex.we r created material master without account assingment group. while creating sales order it is showing in incomplition for gl a/c and we saved it. and we made POs on order.
now with out deleting POs i want clear the sale order
thanks
sreenivas

Hi,
You have two options
1) Goto Material master data maintain account assignment group.
2) create billing document for that sales order. In billing Item level, click on item details tab.
In accounting segment select material account assignment group and save it. System will create accounting document.
If you don't maintain any account assignment group in material master, system will give incomplete message in sales order, complete the G/L account. You don't want to maintain account assignment group in material master then choose table '2' in VKOA and maintain G/L accounts. so system will not give any incomplete messages at sales order level.
